Unquiet spirits have gathered once again: ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS: A COMPENDIUM OF FOLK HORROR VOLUME TWO brings together 24 films representing 18 countries for more of the best-loved, rarely seen, thought-lost and brand-new classics of folk horror, most making their disc debuts including the North American Disc Premieres of the Severin Films Original Productions TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST directed by Sean Hogan and the documentary SUZZANNA: THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC directed by David Gregory, which will have its World Premiere at the Sitges Film Festival on October 12th. The set also features 55+ combined hours of new and archival Special Features including trailers, interviews, audio commentaries, short films, video essays, historical analyses and bonus feature-length films; a 252-page hardcover of newly commissioned folk horror fiction by luminaries that include Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw and Eden Royce with illustrations by Drazen Kozjan, and much more, all curated and produced by WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED creator Kier-La Janisse.
“The first ALL THE HAUNTS… was an incredibly ambitious set, but for this collection we wanted to go a bit further afield,” says producer Kier-La Janisse. “I’m really happy with the broad range of regions and perspectives we were able to include, and the many international collaborators who made it all possible. I always try to dig deep thematically while also offering some real obscurities for our genre-savvy audience, and I think this new box set delivers on both counts.”
“ALL THE HAUNTS… Volume One was a landmark collection for Severin, for the genre, and for home video,” says Severin Films President/Co-Founder David Gregory. “With Volume Two, Kier-La and our team have now gone even deeper and further than before with a global collection that’s equal parts discovery, exploration, and dark celebration of Folk Horror. We’re enormously proud to unleash its spirit upon the world.”
